I got some crafting done -- one Tabby satchel.
Hi everyone! Just a super quick post today to check in and say how are you, and I hope you're all doing peaceful and well. It's been busy and challenging and lovely and sweet here -- learning to be brave, learning to be calm, learning to be grateful -- life, basically. It has brought to mind the words of my much beloved Le Fanu: "Thus, if there are afflictions, there are also comforts: great consolations, great chastisements. There is a comforter, and there is a chastener. Every man must taste of death: every man must taste of life. It shall not be all bitter nor all sweet for any. It shall be life. The unseen ministers of a stupendous equity have their eyes and their hands about every man’s portion; as it is written, 'he that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.’
"It is the same earth for all; the same earth for the dead, great and small; dust to dust. The same earth for the living. 'Thorns, also, and thistles shall it bring forth,' and God provides the flowers too".
Keep smiling, dear friends, see you soon!
